(effective January 8, 2024)
Lessons are offered on weekdays. I teach students ages 5 and up. Lessons are generally held in-person, but can be done over FaceTime, Zoom or Google Meet, if needed (travel, illness, weather, logistical challenges, etc.)
Please pay monthly by check, bill-pay, Zelle, Venmo, Paypal or cash (at the first lesson of the month). I am sorry, I do not accept credit cards in person, but you may pay using a credit card via your Paypal account.
Other than school holidays, it is expected that students will attend weekly private lessons. Student should plant to attend at least two lessons over summer break.
Group classes:
Optional group classes are held each semester. One parent-attended recital will be held annually. The additional charge for each group and recital class is $12.
To schedule:
Please complete the form on the Contact page for inquiries. I am sorry, but I do not include my address and direct phone number on this webpage for privacy and for the security of students and their families.
Withdrawal/cancellation:
In the case when a student who has a regularly scheduled lesson requests to stop taking lessons, a one month notice is required. This allows for rescheduling of other students and provides an opportunity to work on any lesson modifications that might help the student.
Schedule Changes:
I try to be as flexible as possible with schedule changes, as I understand that family schedules can be unpredictable (travel, illness, parents work, school obligations, etc.), and will work with you to reschedule individual lessons or to find better days and times for lessons, if needed during the semester. A minimum of 24-hour notice is requested, when possible, though I understand that emergencies occur. Students needing schedule changes should call and we’ll try to work out an alternative.
